Chapter 439: Outsider

Seeing that she was even holding a small diamond-studded handbag, even Shen Mo could not help but twitch his lips. Was she attending the banquet? Or was she trying to show off her strength to her daughter-in-law? Was she pretending to be a mentally unstable and vicious mother-in-law?

Clearly, Wen Nian did not expect the woman in the pajamas and mask to instantly become a high-ranking noblewoman at the banquet. For a moment, she was stunned.

Shen Jun silently raised his hand and closed Wen Nian’s mouth. Then, he said, “Mom, you’re too much. What are you wearing?”

Zhao Jiao straightened her back and sat down elegantly. Then, she rolled her eyes at Shen Jun. “Don’t I usually dress like this? What have I done?”

Shen Jun was speechless. He wanted to say, “Aren’t you the one who walks around the villa in your pajamas every day and sneaks into your husband’s shirt and t-shirt from time to time?” However, when he thought of how he had brought Wen Nian to see his parents for the first time today, he held back what he wanted to say.

Wen Nian finally recovered from her shock and stammered, “Auntie, hi, I’m Wen Nian.”

Zhao Jiao nodded elegantly, then looked at Shen Jun. “Why did you bring her back?”

Actually, Shen Jun had already thought it through. Since he had to tell his parents about the Jiang family, he might as well give all the credit to Wen Nian.

They had to meet anyway. Instead of giving Zhao Jiao a chance to make things difficult for Wen Nian, it was better to catch her off guard. Moreover, it seemed that this move was quite effective. Zhao Jiao panicked.

Only then did Shen Jun explain the reason for going home. Zhao Jiao and Shen Mo also fell silent.

Actually, the two of them had known about this more than ten years ago. It was just that they had no evidence and could only keep a distance from the Jiang family in the end. But now that the old matter was brought up again, Shen Jun might be targeted, so the Shen family had to be wary.

“Wen Nian, you were the one who found out about this. What do you think we should do?” Zhao Jiao suddenly asked.

Wen Nian didn’t expect her to ask this at all. She lowered her head and whispered, “This is the Shen family’s business. As an outsider, I can’t interrupt.”

“An outsider?” Zhao Jiao sounded dissatisfied.

She was extremely dissatisfied. Was there a mistake? My son had already brought you home, and I had even paved the way for your future acting. Now, you’re telling me that you’re an outsider?

Shen Mo gently tugged at her skirt. Only then did Zhao Jiao remember her evil mother-in-law character. Then, she smiled and said, “That’s true. After all, it’s our Shen family’s business. It has nothing to do with an outsider like you.”

As soon as she turned around, she saw her son’s angry expression. She quickly added, “But it’s fine if you tell me. I’ll take it that I’m listening to the employees’ opinions.”

Shen Mo broke out in cold sweat for his wife in his heart. He quickly tried to smooth things over. “Since you asked Shen Jun to tell us the matter, you must have your own thoughts, right? You tell us too. As the saying goes, the person involved is confused. We might not be able to see it as clearly as you.”

Wen Nian thought for a moment and did not continue to be shy. Then, he said, “There might be something fishy about Jiang Chun saving Shen Jun back then, but Jiang Chun was only a few years old at that time. She was probably used by her family at most. However, we still have to investigate the exact situation.”

“If they want to kidnap Shen Jun, they have two motives. One is to ask for money, and the other is to ask for power. But in the end, it’s all to control the Shen family, or to control part of it first before planning slowly.”

Hearing her analysis, Shen Mo and Zhao Jiao nodded unconsciously. She had guessed correctly.

“Jiang Wei is suspicious and vicious. If he can rely on the Xu family to stabilize his position in the capital, the Xu family will probably become his in the end. However, his business is very different from the Xu family. If he wants his business to expand, eroding the Shen family is his first choice.”

Wen Nian looked at Shen Jun guiltily. “If they want to make a move on Shen Jun now, they can either make a marriage alliance and let Jiang Chun hook up with Shen Jun to be used by the Jiang family. Or they can kill Shen Jun and make the Shen family have no descendants before he slowly swallows the Shen family.”

Shen Mo’s eyes were filled with approval. He really did not expect such a young lady to think so much. Moreover, Jiang Wei had already started to do what she was thinking.

Zhao Jiao also liked Wen Nian more and more. As expected of the daughter-in-law she had taken a fancy to. She was indeed smart and capable!

However, she still asked, “Then why didn’t you seduce his father and then plot against the Shen family’s assets?”

Wen Nian had just said a lot and wanted to take a sip of water, but she almost choked on Zhao Jiao’s words..
